Pull up a chair

One game so far, made with a lot of care. More are cooking.

Mahjong School

Never played?
Bao will teach you!

Lessons cover one idea at a time: the three suits, pong, chow and kong, building a hand, and when to let a tile go.

At the table, Bao coaches you, and hints show which tiles would win when you are one away.

Play together

Mahjong night.
Anywhere.

Open a private table, share the code and pick the rules. Short a player? A bot takes the empty seat, so nobody waits long.

Or jump into an online quick match, casual or ranked.

Every day

Your daily
mahjong fix.

Three new puzzles a day train you to read the table, like finding the discard that keeps the most tiles working for you.

Missions, a login calendar and weekly cups keep every visit rewarding.

The daily Best Discard puzzle

Four rule sets

Can you beat
Auntie Lan?

Bots with their own personalities and pace, from relaxed to sharp. Hong Kong, Sichuan, Singaporean and Taiwanese rules, each with its own scoring and house rules you can adjust.

Rules sheets explain the differences in plain words.

The studio

Hi, we're Dumpling Fish.

We're a tiny independent studio, so every game gets our full attention, from the first sketch to the last support email.

We like games that are easy to start, deep enough to keep, and best with the people you care about. Mahjong Mini is the first of them.

Easy to pick up

Our games teach themselves as you play, at your own pace.

Better together

Made for playing with friends and family, wherever they are.

Fair and friendly

Played for points, never for stakes, and every email reaches the people who make the game.
